Re: [ipcdn] DVB I-Ds and what to do with them?

Andrew -

Suggest taking the group of IDs, combining them into a single 
Informational/Historical RFC.    What I'd suggest is extracting only the 
ASN.1 portion from each as being the critical part, and dumping most of the 
rest as being irrelevant at this time.  If they're ever resurrected the 
general form of a MIB RFC will have changed so much (based on my experience 
during the first 2 years of the IPCDN WG) that the boilerplate will need to 
be rewritten regardless.

Later, Mike
